Of courpe. ko expected reimbursement, and in pre■ontlng hla expense sheet to the govemRiMtt, mentioned the Tennessee tips. His claim was disallowed In Washington beSMuw of the state law.

“Is a half loaf better than none,” is the j question that suffragists in the state are asking one another “Does part suffrage have a tendency to ke^p back the granting of full suffrage?" is another question that one hears discussed on all sides by the women |who are here In the interest of questions of leglstlon that affect women. The majbrlty of the suffragists are in favor of Working for part suffrage this year, as it is well known that full suffrage can not be granted in Indiana for at least sU years, unless by constitutional convention or federal amendment. The Legislative Council of Indiana Women, which represents 60,900 women ot the state of Indiana, while working to a unit for full suffrage also will try for part suffrage at this session of the leglsture. , Conditions in Itllnoia. Recently It was said at a banquet held In Indianapolis that part suffrage In Illinois had not been a success and that the women there regretted the passing of a bill tfiat gave only part suffrage, as It was felt it would defer the gantlng of full enfranchisement to the Illinois women Mia Catherine Waugh McCullough, of Evanston, 111 , one of the most widely knoivn women attorneys in the United States and one who was largely Instrumental Id having the present law passed, has written a letter that is of Interest to the women of Indiana. She says: “The partial suffrage law In Illinois has been of great value. O course any real suffragist would have preferred complete suffiage, but It was less difficult to secure the bare majority In both houses of our legislature than It would have been to have secured a two-thirds majority for an amendment to the Illinois Constitution Women have keen voting tn larger numbers at each Important election and the 800,000 women who voted for President surely have proved that there are many more women who want to vote than who have time to attend conventions asking for the ballot I do not know an Illinois woman who claims she wished we did not h.ave partial suffrage, because It prevents us from having full suffrage. We will continue to fight for full enfranchisement Possible Cause of Indifference. "It Is-true perhaps that some •women have their pint cups full, but need more education before they are ready to vote for every officer, and it may be that from such unprepared and poorly educated suffrage women we may meet indifference to the suffrage amendment “I would advise Indiana women to secure all you can and as fast as you can; the whole loaf If possible, if not. any large piece of the loaf, or even beggarly crumbs Partial suffrage is more of an education than all of the student classes that Indiana ever had. You can teSch a girl domestic science much better by having her go into the kitchen and put in practice her various receipts than you can by having her memorize her receipts, translate them into latln, spell them and recite thifhi backward, although there is something of a mental test in the latter. So, the women who have studied civics for years need the pcActical demonstration which will only come when they have a' chance to go into the polling place and mark a real ballot.”

WHL DISCUSS HIGH COSE OF FDDDIH PRESIDENT

THREE LEADERS OF COMMISSION MEN TO SEE WILSON.

HITZ GOES TO WASHINGTON

A D. Hltz. president of the National League of ‘"’cmmlssion Merchants, left today for Wasnington to confer Monday with President Wilson regarding th© high cost of food products E W. J Hearty, of Boston, president of the International Apple Shippers Association; T. D'Turner, of Oklahoma City, Okla , president of the Western Fruit Jobbers Association, and Mr Hltz will offer the federal government the services and advice of the three national organizations in any attempt to reduce the high cost of living, and will urge that the goyemment conduct an Investigation to prove that no combination exists among middlemen to raise prices. The conference was arranged through John W Kern, United States senator, who probably will accompany th© three men when they call on the President It was said that President "iA’llson seemed anxious to learn what the heads of the three national organizations of produce handlers might hav’e to say about the prevailing high prices of foodstuff* Commission Men Accused. The accusation has been made in Indianapolis at an investigation conducted by the city council that commi.sslon merchants are largely responsible for the high cost of living, and It has been Intimated that a combination exists to control prices Similar charges have been made in practL«rtly every large cltty in the country, especially in the ^st, where widespread investigations into the underlying causes for high prices have been in progress 1 In a statement made before leajvmg for Washington, Mr. Hltz made It plain that the conference was sought by' the heads of the three organizations, who are anxious to give the government any information that will reduce the high cost of living. Mr. Hltz declared the President will be told that the commission merchants will welcome any investigation into the systems of distribution of foodstuffs to remove an erroneous impression that prevails that the commission men are in any way responsible for high prices. Contrary to the usual belief, the commission man or middleman wishes an investlgatlorr, Mr. Hltz declared

ATTENDS LEGISLATURE TO WORK FOR IMPROVED HOUSING LAWS

J*.

Hopes for Reduction of Prices. The fact that the three largest organizations of commission merchants in the United States will be represented at the conference gives it national significance, and Mr Httz expressed the hope that something tangible might result which would cause a reduction in the high prices or cause the public to understand fully the causes underlying present high

prices

Mr Hltz said: “The conference with President Wilson has been under contemplation for some time The appointment was arranged through Senator Kern at our request, and will take place Monday afternoon By this conference the presidents of the three organizations representing the best element of the fruit and produce Industry of the TTnited States, hope to, promote a better uncerstandlng of the conditions surrounding the distribution of the nation’s foodstuffs, as well as to offer their co-operation in anv Investigation of the distributing system

tb'it the government may conduct

“During the last few years the commission merchant’s place in the distributing system has been the object of repeated attacks. These attacks have originated because the public at large is economically Ignorant of the actual facts and conditions that govern the business of distribution There is still a belief current that the commission merchant is a kind of tollgate keeper on the highway from the crower to the consumer, and that he exists solely for the purpose of paring off a little profit w'lth no return of service.

Wishes An investigation.

“Contrary to popular belief, however, the middleman wants to be Inv'estigated. He wants to be investigated Intelligently and thoroughly, and to be vindioated as an economic factor in the distribution of foodstuffs He is willing to co-operate with the department of agriculture and bureau of niarkets to facilitate an Intelligent investigation, and to support anv f sound, constrnctive legislation that will limpiove present marketing conditions ) ‘ The members of the three fruit and I produce trade organizations represent I every important market in the United States Actual factors of distribution I from every section, and with a wide fund of experience, they probably embody the j most expert knowledge of marketing eonI ditions that exists today I think I may safelv say that It is their belief and opinion that present high prices of certain foodstuffs are due to two naturat I causes—to crop shortage or to an abnormal export demand—or to both So far as we know’ no combination for maintaining prices, either of sectional or of national scope, exists No investigation jhas even revealed anything of the sort, and the verv character of our business— that of dealing with commodities of a highly perishable nature—would render such a combination useless and absurd

Present System Not Perfect.

“We realize that the present system of distribution is not perfect. Like every other line of business. It has its defects It has, however, evolved slowly through years of experience, and In accordance with certain economic laws, that the public unfortunately forgets, can not be alj tered It is In the main an efficient system. and has never yet been improved by Impractical theorizing, or hasty, lll-ad-

vised legislation

“It is hoped that the conference with the President will lead to a closer co-op-eration between the government and the three trade organizations, and that a * thorough and impartial investigation, sci- 1 entlficallv conducted, will result "We feel { sure that such an investigation will ac- ' compllsh some really constructive crltl- ' cism as well as to Justify our positioa as ! indispensable factors in the distributive ' • system*’ ,
